hi... I think this might solve your problem

download this >> http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/products/smartphones/one-touch-spop.html << and install it

It will install the USB VCOM preloader driver. It will be needed by the SPFT to detect the phone..

Hello guys.

I bricked my mt6572. ADB isn´t working anymore only fastboot mode and the chinese recovery.

Could you help me to get my device working again?

Any help is appreciated
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gt56:
[/I assume that your phone is rooted. You never saved any full backup (including System of course) ???

Is the bootloader locked? If not (or if you can simply unlock it with the command "fastboot oem unlock") then you could flash with fastboot any .zip or .img file.

Do you have the Android SDK installed on a PC or can you run adb and fasboot on a PC? If yes, what does it happen if you launch the "fasboot reboot" command from a PC?

SP Flashtool works for both reading back and downloding the ROM, with the device shut down, but you would need the memory scatter file to use it

MTK droid errors No find Kernel GZ & No Split Boot Image

Could not install and root Android H7 tablet - specifications can be found at link http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=46c3-3e00-4d81-2e7d0033c587

When booting, it shows the GOOGLE banner, so I think is some clone of GOOGLE Nexus or whatsoever

I followed at my best the procedure by rua1 described in "[UTIL][WIN][MT65xx] MTK Droid Root & Tools | MediaTek Android Smartphone". It works, but it doesn't return the CWD recovery.img file. There are these two error messages in MKTdroids log file:

06/12/14 21:30:47 --- ERRORE :No find KernelGZ

06/12/14 21:30:47 --- ERRORE :No Split Boot Image

06/12/14 21:30:47 Block recovery

I have also the full log file should it be needed

Since I could not get the recovery automatically from MKTdroid Tools, I tried to install one manually.

The size of the factory recovery is 6Mbytes, so I downloded from CWD and TWRP several images and I flashed them into the tablet. There are two ways to flash them. One is by following rua1 procedure and use SP Flashtool, the other is by going in fastboot mode.

Flashing the custom recovery with SP Flashtool is easy, however it doesn't work. When I restart the tablet in recovery mode it boots twice, the second time it's a normal boot. I cannot get in recovery. However I can flash back the original factory recovery and then of course it works again.

Flashing the recovery in fastboot mode doesn't work, probably because the bootloader is locked. However, the simple "fastboot oem unlock" command isn't enough. Maybe I need the unlock code?

The factory recovery allows me to do system update by choosing a zip file from SD card or from adb, so I tried to push inside the SU binaries, but the recovery did not allow me to do that, meaning of error message was that the zip had not the expected OTA format and scatter was missing.

Dont know what to do to install Custom recovery and root this device. Please help me

Yoiur device is not compatible with MTKDroid...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gt56:
Yes. But why? Its a MT6582. What else should I do? Knowing why it doesnt work I could maybe try some manual patch. Whats the meaning of these error messages?

What about Loki, Keixec? Where could I find help if not here?

At least, my problem is not OT...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
The requirement is not ONLY a Mediatek Chipset.

You should have a standard Mediatek layout for ROM/bootloader/recovery/ssytem/etc.

And you device seems not have a standard memory layout.

Ex. MTKDroid didn't work on some Huawei devices based on Mediatek Chipset.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gt56:
I understand.

It's a pity, because it goes so close... I can get the scatter file, I can readback the ROM, prepare files for FlashTool, even make several attempts at flashing Custom recoveries and then flashing back the factory recovery. MTKdroids detects it as a 6582, but maybe it'really an 8382.

Thank you anyway, and let me know if have suggestion on where I could go to find some help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NightmareCC:
I solved my problem with a second phone of the same type.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
As I explained your firmware/device seems not fully compatible with MTKDroid.

Check USB ADB driver.

Try to run MTKDroid with admin right and Windows Vista SP2 compatinbility (App/Properties)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gt56:
Is this message directed to me? I will check the driver and run MTDroids in administrators mode, however I don't see how it could be a driver's problem. I have no communication issue when reading the scatter file, reading back the ROM, and flashing the recoveries. The issues are the error in the log file when setting-up the files for SP-Flashtool, and the fact that there is no recovery to flash back among them. Now I am following your suggestion and looking for devices based on 8382, such as Lenovo A7-50. Let me see if I can find a recovery that could work. But it's all written in Chinese and some Russian... Also I am a bit afraid - what if I were to get stuck in a bootloop? Would I be able to flash back the factory recovery in this case? Shouldn't happen, I am not messing with the bootloader so I should always be able to boot in normal mode... (or not?)

You are OT,

The problem is nor regarding MTKDroid (cannot restore a partiton that you destroied with SP Flashtool) but the error that you made with Flashtool (You sue FORMAT ALl + DOWNLOAD instead FIRMWARE UPGRADE MODE).

Now you can do anything with MTKDroid.

If an option is grey it means that you can do taht for not compatibility or not presence of relative file.

The program MTKDroid is comaptible with mediatek standard firmware layout.

The devices branded (like Sony/Huawi/etc) use a custom layour/partition and could be impossible to sue some function with MTKDroid.

Could you pelase explaine with details the phrase "Warning New KK versions may stop it from booting due to selinux's security label ("seclabel") " and which changes are required?

I seed that yo made some changes in new_boot.img reagrding default.prop

***************** original

ro.secure=0

ro.allow.mock.location=1

***************** your change

ro.secure=0

ro.allow.mock.location=1

Coudl you please explain the meaning/use of ro.allow.mock.location=1?

Is teher a thread or discussion that explain alls ettings in default.prop in boot.img?

Please take care also that I red on dedicated forum that you should add ind efault.ptop

persist.service.adb.enable=1

[MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION]

Could you create the scatter file for your device with MTKDroid?

Please put in a directory the scatter file create with the boot.img extracted by boot.zip file attached.

Then use Falshtool to falsh iN DOWNLAOD mode just boot.

Now the device is rooted.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Sorry bro but your post is a little malformed so not sure whom the question/answers are directed to really :confused:

I will try answer what I can anyway.

Meaning of "0" and "1" ro.whatever= and persist.whatever.= are question which you can simply answer with a Yes=1 or No=0.

Meaning/use of mock location can be found http://developer.android.com/training/location/location-testing.html

With regard to the Warning!! :eek: It seems that some ROMs so far mt6595 Lenovo Vibe and Zopo zp999 that I know of can detect that the boot has changed even with no alteration just a simple unpack repack breaks them :rolleyes: Recovery dev carliv thinks it maybe to do with selinux security and specifically selabel.

You can pick up on this in this thread http://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/how-to-mod-recovery-modded-zopo-zp999-3x-t2946325/page6

***************** original

I dodn't know the meaning of ths changes ro.allow.mock.location=1

I saw the link http://developer.android.com/training/location/location-testing.html but i'ts quite difficult for me to find the needs of this change.

Then I added that it''s better to add vs. your changes in default.ptop

persist.service.adb.enable=1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
persist.service.adb.enable=1 :good:

ro.allow.mock.location=1 : Could be useful for rom development. You can test apps as though you were in a different location such as gps apps etc to test they will load that regions settings. :good:

Root only in ADB, but not for apps

Hi OP,

thanx for the tool and the guide. I was able to follow it right up to the end, where I install SuperSu (or SuperUser, doesn't make much difference) and I am able to get root access through ADB (in fact I get root access by default) but I'm unable to get root for apk-s. SuperSu claims there is no su binary installed, but in fact there is under system/xbin and symlinked from system/bin. BusyBox is also there. Do you have any idea, what am I missing? (CWM installed flawlessly, everything else works fine, except there's no IMEI, but fixing that would be after root works.)

Cubot GT72+ not working :(

Hi everyone.

I came here looking for some advice.

I got a Cubot GT72+ MT6572 based phone, with Android 4.4.2, pretty damn impressing little machine for 60USD. Anyways, I'm looking for a way to root it. I've managed to backup the ROM but when I use MTK Droid Tools (2.5.3) on my boot.img image to insert CWM on it, I get the same error as other people here:

--->>> Connect to device <<<---

--- ERROR :No find KernelGZ

--- ERROR :No Split Boot Image

And I can't seem to find any pointers on this. Yes, I've tried running MTK Droid Tools as an administrator.

What can I do to fix it? Is there a way to do this manually on Linux? Perhaps mounting the boot.img filesystem and modifying it directly in Linux?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've attached my boot.img and factory recovery to see if someone wants to take a look at it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Next time pelase zip the file befroe to attach it. It's more safe.

First of of all pelase check in MTKDroid folder in "recovery" or "backups" subfolder if you have some files with "patched" as filename like

boot_ptached_xxx.img/recovery_patched_xxx.img

where xxx is date/time.

If you have it, please rename it in

boot_ptached_xxx.img -> boot.img / recovery_patched_xxx.img -> recovery.img

Create if you non have it the scatter with MTKdroid.

Copy the scatter/boot.img/recovery.img into a sperate fodler.

Use Flashtool to flash just boot.img and recovery..img and to have phone rooted and unlocked.

If you don't have boot and recovery image files patched use the file attached (zipped - please unzipped before),.

Unzip boot.,img. Copy boot.img and scatter ina separate folder and use theese fiels with Flashtool to flash the unlocked boot.img.

Boot.img unlocked - http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/87133886/file.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NuttyBunny:
Sorry about that. In the backups folder there's a single folder with the backup of my phone, in which I have a boot.img and a factory_NONmodified_recovery.img files. No "patched" files.

I have the scatter file as well, that was the first step. Should I use your boot.img and my recovery.img with MTKdroid to create my CWM recovery? Is that boot.img file based on mine or does it come from another model?

Thanks for your help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
You have to use the boot.img (it's yours patched to make it unlocked and repacked) with scatter file to have the phone fully rooted (green indicator in MTKDroid).

Then you can try (after flashed the boot.img with SPFlashtools) to use MTKDroid to create the full recovery.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NuttyBunny:
I put the patched boot.img, unpatched recovery.img and scatter file in a separate folder, and used MTKDroid to make the CWM recovery with that file, and got the same error.

Same error with both the original and patched boot.img fles.

Any other idea? :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Please read carefully my answer..

You have to take scatter file and my boot.img and use it withg SP Flashtool (not with MTKDroid) to flash boot image.

.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NuttyBunny:
Ok, ok.

So, I'll do the following:

Get your boot.img and my scatter file and flash them to the phone.

Boot it to see if it's working ;)

Use SP Flashtool to back it up again, but with new boot.

Use MTKDroid to extract the backup and make the CWM-enabled recovery. From what I understand, this should work (it's my last option anyway).

Will the boot.img file work? I see it has a different size from my original file.

-- Edit

Did all the steps, it didn't work.

At least the phone is still booting, but it's throwing the exact same error when I try to create que CWM recovery.

-- boot.img ...copiado

--- ERROR :No find KernelGZ

--- ERROR :No Split Boot Image

-- recovery.img ...copiado
